Would second the sticking float. Tap on the carb with a screwdirver handle next time it happens. What happens is a piece of dirt gets under the needle then it wont seal, basically flooding the engine. The ride home shook that piece of dirt free. Wouldnt hurt to probably throw a kit at the carb and put on a new filter. If you have a rusty tank or lines this may be a frequent issue
